METHOD
Kofta
Combine all ingredients, except oil, in a large bowl. Mix together well, working the proteins to help hold the kofta together. Roll into 12 small sausage shapes, place on a tray and chill for 30 minutes.
Lemon Couscous
Cook as per directions on pack. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. In a medium bowl combine the rest of the ingredients and mix in the couscous.
Saffron Yoghurt
Add the saffron to a small bowl of boiling water, leave for 5 minutes. Drain, then combine with the yoghurt, garlic and olive oil, season to taste. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the koftas, turning occasionally, for 6-7 minutes, until crisp and cooked through.
Serve with lemon couscous, saffron yoghurt and lemon wedges for extra zing.
